About Kujo Negi

Kujo Negi (九条葱, Kujo negi) is a type of Japanese green onion and one of Kyoto's traditional vegetables, known as "Kyo-yasai." It is said to have originated from a wild onion native to Naniwa (present-day Osaka) before being introduced to Kyoto, where it has been cultivated and refined over centuries.

There are two main varieties of Kujo Negi: the slender "Asagi" type and the thicker "Kuro" type. The "Kuro" variety is the most famous and widely recognized as "Kujo Negi."

Known for its tender texture, natural sweetness, and rich aroma, Kujo Negi is a must-have ingredient in dishes like sukiyaki and noodle soups.
